At the beginning of the game

Chapter 569
Chapter 568
"Amitabha, Your Majesty's words are serious." Xuanzang replied softly: "The poor monk, who is a commoner for the first time, is an ordinary monk, so he dare not pretend to be a saint."

"Your Majesty wants the poor monk to come and preside over the dharma meeting. No matter who is participating in the dharma meeting, they are all benefactors of the Lord Buddha. The poor monk should personally take care of him."

Tang Emperor Li Shimin smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said: "The morning court has just ended, and the civil and military officials of the court are here. If the holy monk is willing to say more, can you tell the widow and all your loves?"

"What are you going to talk about?"

When Xuanzang heard the words, he bowed slightly, and then said: "Amitabha, Xuanzang is going to speak today, to be reborn."

After Xuanzang finished speaking, everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay.

Rebirth is a concept in Buddhism, but this concept is not a wise saying in the eyes of ordinary people.

Xuanzang was about to die, didn't he regard everyone present as his disciples of Buddhism?

"Holy Monk Xuanzang." A minister at the side took a step forward, first bowed to Tang Emperor Li Shimin, and then said: "You talk about rebirth, but is it the Buddhist allegory of rebirth?"

Xuanzang laughed and said, "Of course it is."

"Buddhist teachings, we are not thorough. Does Master Xuanzang think that we are all Buddhists?"

The adult frowned slightly and asked softly.

The appearance of this person actually represented the thoughts in the hearts of other civil and military officials.

This person spoke very politely, if it was a general who came up, he might not be so reserved.

Xuanzang naturally knew what this person meant, but there was no emotion in his heart. Instead, he smiled lightly and said, "Amitabha, this benefactor."

"Buddha's rebirth is rebirth, and human being's rebirth is also rebirth."

"Death is the meaning of existence, not unique to people in Buddhism."

"It's not that you can be reborn as a Buddhist disciple, and it's not that you can't be reborn if you are not a Buddhist disciple."

"Almsgiver, if you want to hear the meaning of rebirth from the mouth of the poor monk, please wait a moment, and the poor monk will explain it in detail at the Dharma meeting."

Xuanzang said a few words very elegantly, without arrogance or impetuosity, but let others understand the truth in it.

The minister didn't have any words to refute, but his face turned red, he cupped his hands slightly, and retreated.

Tang Emperor Li Shimin looked at all the civil and military officials present, and after a while, no one stepped forward to question Xuanzang, so he smiled lightly and said, "So, Holy Monk Xuanzang, please start."

After finishing speaking, Tang Emperor Li Shimin got up directly, got off the dragon chair, stepped forward and grabbed Xuanzang's wrist, and walked out of the palace hall together with Xuanzang.

Seeing this scene, all civil and military officials were stunned.

In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, no one can have this honor.

A monk, why should he?
Therefore, a strong curiosity arose in all the civil and military minds immediately.

Xuanzang has a great reputation. Many people have heard of Xuanzang's name, but not everyone has attended Xuanzang's Dharma conference, and not everyone has seen Xuanzang himself.

If you have never heard of Xuanzang's Dharma conference, you naturally don't know how proficient Xuanzang is in Buddhism.

But in the eyes of normal people, there are only so many Buddhist scriptures, and they will certainly not exceed the concept of Buddhist scriptures.

Hearing other masters preach, how different can it be from Master Xuanzang?

But now Tang Emperor Li Shimin made things so big and invited almost all princes and ministers, dignitaries and dignitaries to come, which shows that Xuanzang must be no small matter.

Therefore, everyone followed Tang Emperor Li Shimin and Xuanzang and walked out of the hall.

Tang Emperor Li Shimin pulled Xuanzang and whispered in Xuanzang's ear, "Master Xuanzang, last night, I dreamed of a Bodhisattva!"

Xuanzang was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately said: "Amitabha, Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings and is favored by Bodhisattvas. It can be seen that Your Majesty is also a person who has a predestined relationship with my Buddha!"

"It must be destined!" Tang Emperor Li Shimin said softly: "The Bodhisattva said that Master Xuanzang has decided to go to Lingshan to obtain the scriptures, and he wants you to add fuel to the flames."

Xuanzang was taken aback again when he heard the words.

He didn't expect things to develop like this at all.

He also didn't expect that Bodhisattva would go to Tang Emperor Li Shimin to talk about these things.

He then immediately said: "Amitabha, Your Majesty, the poor monk wants to go to the Western Paradise to obtain the scriptures, and it is also for..."

"I naturally understand what you are for!" Tang Emperor Li Shimin directly interrupted Xuanzang's words, and then said: "I understand it in my heart, and Master Xuanzang naturally understands it in my heart."

"After the Dharma meeting, Master Xuanzang will also be asked to tell the story of learning scriptures from the West. In this way, the widow will have a reason to help Master!"

When Tang Emperor Li Shimin said so, Xuanzang immediately understood what was going on.

It is really not something that Xuanzang alone can decide to go to Lingshan to seek the scriptures.

Chang'an where he lives and Hongyuan Temple where he lives have a lot to do with this matter.

Including His Majesty today, including the ministers of civil and military affairs in the court.

If there are many people who oppose it, although Tang Huang Li Shimin is capable of rejecting all opinions, it will not have the best effect.

The purpose of these whispered words between Tang Emperor Li Shimin and himself was to let Xuanzang expose the inadequacy of the current Buddhism in the Fa Conference, and it is best for everyone to understand.

In this way, seeking the scriptures later can be carried out in a logical manner.

Tang Emperor Li Shimin has already said so, Xuanzang is naturally impossible to refute His Majesty's face, and this incident also contributes to the westward journey.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the poor monk will definitely do his best."

After finishing speaking, Emperor Tang Li Shimin squeezed Xuanzang's hand tightly, and the two stepped out of the hall step by step.

After coming out of the main hall, everyone outside saw Tang Emperor Li Shimin holding Xuanzang's hand, and they all knelt down and worshiped.

Naturally, this is not to worship Xuanzang, but to worship Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

"Holy Monk, please!" Tang Emperor Li Shimin looked at Xuanzang and smiled.

"Your Majesty, please." Xuanzang also smiled slightly, clasping his hands together.

Afterwards, Xuanzang walked up to the center of the wooden platform, and Tang Emperor Li Shimin sat next to Xuanzang's right hand.

Civil and military officials sat in different positions on the wooden platform according to their grades, and all the high-ranking officials and nobles also took their seats under the wooden platform.

This time, almost all the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty were gathered in this ceremony. At the moment, there were at least hundreds of people sitting densely on the square in front of the imperial palace.

A dozen or so monks who came with Xuanzang were sitting behind Xuanzang, holding different magical instruments in their hands, and slightly closed their eyes.

This kind of event can be said to be the most important event they can participate in in their lives, so all the monks held their breaths and went all out.

"Your Majesty has a will."

"Water and land conference, now open."

"The main lecture of the Fa Conference is Hongyuan Temple, the holy monk Xuanzang."

"Amitabha."

Xuanzang heard the words, first chanted a Buddha's name, then bowed to the surrounding people and saluted, and then sat cross-legged on the seat.

Just as Xuanzang sat down, the monk behind him lightly tapped the Qiaodong magic weapon, and there was a burst of clear sound.
